The answer is 9
If the number is considered as 'ABC', the equation is
A+(B-C). So,
231 = 2+(3-1) = 4 and so on.
742 = 7 + (4-2) 9
Thanks for your detailed comments.
Yes, your answer and logical reasoning to solve this puzzle is correct.
I've come up with another solution...
here it is
231=4(13+2=15)(5-1=4)
342=5(24+3=27)(7-2=5)
543=6(34+5=39)(9-3=6)
451=8(15+4=19)(9-1=8)
so
742=2(24+7=31)(3-1=2)
Your answer is logically correct. Thanks to your out of box thinking to come up with the different logic and answer to this genius cracking code puzzle :).
I really feel nervous that i didn't spot the obvious solution from the beginning
This is because of the Genius word added to the post title. If the title would have been the "Simple Cracking Code Puzzle", then our mind will try to find the simple solution. However because the title contains the word "Genius", our mind will try to find a complex solution.
In my opinion,the simplier you think,the smarter you are.Thanks for your comments though.
The answer could also be (-2).If you look at the way I substracted the numbers,you will see that in the last one I did it in reverse order.
Yes, you are right. One can take the absolute value or else the answer could be -2.
